How to auto-mount drives on linux startup

For linux to automatically mount your drives on startup, you have to store some credentials on fstab file located on /etc/fstab.

1. First of all find out the drivename of the file (sda1,sda2, etc.)

$ cd /dev/disk/by-label

$ ls -l

(Here you can see the label of the drive by which you will know drivename of the drive you are going to automount)

For e.g. I am going to automount the drive Nirvik then its drivename to be noted is sda4.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 25 07:42 Nirvik -> ../../sda4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 25 07:42 System\x20Reserved -> ../../sda1

2. Now get the uuid of the drive Nirvik.

$ cd /dev/disk/by-uuid
$ ls -l


lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 25 07:42 3E04DFA004DF5A0B -> ../../sda1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 25 07:42 54B40149B4012F54 -> ../../sda4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 25 07:42 6e9ed8e2-c007-4dbf-97f4-8894772cab17 -> ../../sda3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 25 07:42 B298E70B98E6CCC3 -> ../../sda2

Now i got the uuid of the drive Nirvik as highlighted above for sda4.

3. Create a directory to mount the drive

$ sudo mkdir /media/E

4. Store this uuid in the file /etc/fstab.

$ gedit /etc/fstab (this will open the fstab file as a text file with gedit application)

5. Enter the credentials with as:

UUID=54B40149B4012F54 /media/nirvik/E ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0

Here in the 1st column I have set the UUID of the drive, in the 2nd column the directory to mount, in the 3rd the file system, mount options in the 4th, dump options in the 5th and fsck option in the 6th.

6. Reboot and you are done

Untethered ios 5.0.1 jailbreak

Ios 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak is confirmed to be working on compatible ios devices.

Before Pod2g could go ahead and
test untethered jailbreak on iPhone 4S and iPad
2, he never owned those devices.
Thankfully, some people donated and he has got enough money to buy the
devices for him. After the completion
of work on A4 based devices, the next
step would be an iPhone 4S and iPad
2. We really hope that his exploit
should function on A5 devices too. If
it happens, this would be the first
ever JailBreak for A5 devices on iOS
5.x.x.
Due to the fact that it is a userland
based exploit and dependent on
some bugs, Apple would fix it in
upcoming software update. iOS 5.1
Beta 2 has been seeded to developers
few days ago. And it will not take a lot
time for the fruit company to release
several more betas and ultimately, the
final version for everyone in the world.
We are not sure when Pod2G would
make it public. Though one thing is
confirmed that the release is
imminent.

Root your Android

Rooting is for Android as to jailbreaking is for iPhone iOS. Rooting is the process that allows previliged access to Android's Linux subsystem. It provides opportunity to overcome the limitations of the official bundle. For e.g. cell phones that are locked to a single carrier and can't be used with other carriers. Then this helps it out.

Most unrooted android devices nowadays face a big problem of insufficient memory as they don't have direct access to the memory card. They will have all their user-installed apps on the phone storage or the internal storage. But the devices with are on custom Android version such as Cynaogenmod, they have direct access to memory card for the data storage of each app too. Or else users with official Android version but with rooted android can make use of other root apps, for e.g. "Root All 2 SD", which will create an EXT format partition within the memory card and then the data storage of apps can also be moved to the partition making some more available free space in the internal storage. Root app like "Root Uninstaller" will uninstall any pre-installed app from the phone which came along the official android version when it was flashed on to your phone.

You can even overclock your Android device with overclocking apps after rooting your device. This types of apps help you to set minimum CPU speed for your CPU so that your device always has higher CPU speed. Normally, CPU speeds fluctuate with the usage of apps. Sometimes apps may require higher frequency of CPU but the CPU is running at a low speed. Then you can use it to overclock. For e.g. if your CPU max. speed is 600 Mhz., then it helps your device to run in that speed always as you customize it to.

Recently some manufacturers have added security features to their devices at the hardware level as to prevent their retail android devices being rooted. They have a security boot-loader that will put the phone in recovery mode if unsigned firmware is loaded into the device. But every problem has a solution. So this problem was defeated 6 days after the launch of Motorola Droid-X which has the same boot-loader for security. Now this phone can be rooted.

Why Jailbreak your iPhone?

Jailbreaking your iPhone means making you iPhone a custom Phone. You can do what else you like on it. No limitations. Although apple says that iPhone's OS is the most powerful mobile OS in the world, it isn't true until you make the most of your iPhone by jailbreaking it. For e.g. you can apply themes on your iPhone which isn't possible by unjailbreaked iPhone. Moreover, you can add cracked apps on your iPhone only if your iPhone is jailbreaked. To do this you have to install "Installous" from cydia. Installous gives you the link to the cracked versions of the app you want.

To know about most of the advantages from jailbreaked iPhone and get most from it, it isn't any better than trying yourself.

Get Google+ from installous rather than Appstore

Google+ is a new social network from Google that is meant to reach the heights of Facebook, Twitter and other top social networks. Although it is in limited field trial, most people have already started using it. It is accessible from Web Browsers (PC and Mobile), Android and iPhone/iPad. But although when you search for Google+ in the AppStore on your i Device, you will see a notifications like "Your request could not be completed".

Also when you go to Google's website from your iPhone, you won't get Google+ listed on it. But you can see other apps from Google that were released earlier. To fix this problem you have to either download the Google+ official app from Intallous, or Add google+ mobile site to your home screen which takes you to safari.
To install from Installous, you need to have your iPhone jailbreaked. Then you need to add source "cydia.hackulo.us" from manage tab of "Cydia" and then install installous. Then search for Google+ from installous and then installed those from cracked versions.

Connect your Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz & Foursquare on one place

You don't need to open your facebook, twitter, google buzz and foursquare apps/profile separately. You can view all of them at once at one single place called tweet deck. Tweet Deck is a part of twitter that supports complete access to Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz and Foursquare.

Tweet deck is available for desktop, iPhone (iOS), android, Google chrome (extension) and web browser. You can add you multiple accounts of the 4 social networks to tweet deck and manage all at a same place. You get notifications and messages all at the same place. Comment or Post anything just with TweetDeck.

Knowing Blu-Ray

Blu-ray discs (BD) get their name from a combination of the words blue and optical ray. The format was developed by the Blu-ray Discs Association (BDA), which is made up of a group of leading consumer electronics, major film studios and PC companies, including our parent company, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media. Verbatim, as a subsidiary of MKM, has therefore, first hand access to the latest in Blu-ray technology. 

The Blu-ray disc’s higher storage capacity is enabled by a blue laser that has a shorter wavelength than the standard red laser used in CD (780nm) and DVD (650nm) technology. Blu-ray disc utilises a blue laser with a wavelength of only 405nm combined with a strong lens system with a numerical aperture of 0.85. This results in a ultra-small laser spot which allows writing smaller data pits which increases the amount of data on the disc. Due to the small data entry spot on the disc surface hard coating is needed on Blu-ray discs.


Features and Benefits
• Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, Verbatims parent company, have perfected the Blu-ray technology with on-going research and development to assure offering the best products on the market.
• Verbatim’s BD-R discs have a newly developed inorganic recording layer called MABL, this patented technology ensures superb quality recording, long archival lifetime and excellent “playback” performance. 
• Verbatim’s proven production technology and experience ensures perfect recording on every Blu-ray disc supplied to our customers. Therefore Verbatim offers the same lifetime warranty for Blu-ray that it offers to each of its CD and DVD discs.
• Blu-ray disc usage:- Data Storage & Backup: 5 movies DVD quality, 4800 Photos of 5MB, 7200 MP3 files (3.3MB)- Video / HDTV Recording- Development of video games and software- Pre-mastering for Film and TV Studios- Data / Software distribution

The Most essential app for Android

According to people's choice there are different types of apps installed on their phone. Some like musical, some like gaming, and some like other types of apps. But the most you need for android is the "process managing" apps.
Unlike other mobile OS, Android doesn't have neither automatic nor manual process killing in-built feature. So I recommend users to get a process managing app for their android. Although if their device has a huge amount of RAM installed, it is not a headache for them. But for those who want to run more apps  but have low amount of RAM on their device, they get troubled in the absence of this type of apps. When you are running an app, then to open other, you need to go to the home screen. When you press the home button, the previously opened app is on hold. And it consumes some amount of your RAM even if you don't need it resulting your device to perform slower because there is or may be less space for other apps to run. So a "process managing app" is the most essential app for entire android devices.

Why learn the C Language?

Because the C language is like Latin, it is finite and hasn't changed for years. C is tight and spare. and in the current economic climate we will need a host of young people who know C to keep existing critical systems running.
C is built right into the core of linux and unix. The design idea behind Unix was to write an operating system in C so all you needed to port it to a new architecture was a C compiler. Linux is essentially the success story of a series of earlier attempts to make a PC version of Unix.
Students now arriving at college have less knowledge about computing than they did ten years ago as programming is seen too difficult for school to teach. A sensible place is at the beginning and C is as close as most of us will ever need to go unless we are becoming hardware designers. Even for these students to start at C and go further down into the machine is a good idea. C is like having a knife which is dangerous but if you were learning to be a chef you would need one and probably cut yourself and discovering what it can do. Similarly C expects you to know what you are doing and if you don't it won't warn before it crashes.
